27. It's a new seat. No one is in office. Seat will not go into effect until Jan 1st.

May 13

Most of the voters are currently represented by Henry Cuellar, Tony Gonzales (R -resigned) and Monica de la Cruz (R)

Cuellar's district was moved down to Laredo, so he no longer has a presence in the area and who knows where de la Cruz's district is?

The two Rs are in a runoff also. The seat was created by the GOP last summer for John Lujan, who is a GOP state rep for suburban Bexar County. Although not a moderate, Democrats crossed parties to vote for Lujan...(ugh). I guess you could say he's fairly likeable. He's a firefighter, involved with little league and stuff like that, if you know what I mean....

However, Lujan is in a runoff with a MAGA guy.

You can see by who currently represents the district, they aren't going to go for a "space laser" in a general election.
